Support for President Bush has dropped significantly in Maryland with voters almost evenly divided on whether he is doing a good job, according to a poll released yesterday.

In the poll by Gonzales Research and Marketing Strategies, 48 percent of voters questioned disapproved of the president's performance and 43 percent approved.

In an April poll by the Annapolis-based company, 62 percent of voters liked what Bush was doing and 31 percent disapproved.

The Gonzales poll of 829 registered voters was conducted from Aug. 13 through Aug. 20 for a variety of clients and for the firm. The margin of error was 3.5 percentage points. (snip)

1. We should be able to win Maryland

Repukes talking about winning Maryland, Massachusetts, California, New York, Vermont, that's just a scare tactic that Karl Rove has pulled out to gain free media. We'll win these states, and we'll win many others.
